Prometheus dips into the inner F ring at its farthest point from Saturn in
its orbit, creating a dark gore and a corresponding bright streamer. Gores
created during previous apoapsis (the name for the farthest point in an
orbit) passes, are seen above. The older gores are farther behind the moon
in its orbit of Saturn.
This view looks toward the unlit side of the rings from about 31 degrees
above the ringplane. Prometheus is 102 kilometers (63 miles) across.
The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft
narrow-angle camera on Nov. 1, 2006 at a distance of approximately 1.7
million kilometers (1.1 million miles) from Saturn and at a
Sun-Saturn-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 162 degrees. Image scale is 10
kilometers (6 miles) per pixel.

Undulations mark both sides of the path of Saturn's moon Daphnis through
the A ring.
Daphnis may be small at only 8 kilometers (5 miles) across, but the moon's
gravity is great enough, and the Keeler gap in which it resides is narrow
enough, so that the perturbed particles create the wavelike patterns seen
here.
This view looks toward the unilluminated side of the rings from about 47
degrees above the ringplane. The image was taken in visible light with the
Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Feb. 21, 2009. The view was
acquired at a distance of approximately 1.1 million kilometers (684,000
miles) from Daphnis and at a Sun-Daphnis-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 50
degrees. Image scale is 7 kilometers (4 miles) per pixel.

This project was created for the first edition of MOCarze, a contest hosted on the Discord server. I built it in August 2024.
The rings of Saturn glow softly as sunlight from below wends its way
through. Some of the Sun's light bounces off the rings' opposite side and
can be seen illuminating Saturn's night side southern hemisphere.
Such a view is only possible from the Saturn-orbiting Cassini spacecraft.
This view looks toward the unilluminated side of the rings from about 33
degrees above the ringplane. Shadows of the innermost rings are cast upon
the planet at upper left. The edge of Saturn's shadow cuts a straight line
across the rings near upper right.
The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft
wide-angle camera on March 30, 2007 at a distance of approximately 1.9
million kilometers (1.2 million miles) from Saturn. Image scale is 117
kilometers (73 miles) per pixel.

A sliver of "ringshine" pierces the darkness of Saturn's night side.
This view looks toward the unilluminated side of the rings from about 58
degrees above the ringplane.
The ring shadows fall into darkness beyond the terminator in the north.
South of the equator, a dim glow brightens the darkened globe. This light,
called ringshine, comes from sunlight reflected off the sunward side of
the expansive rings (the opposite face of the ringplane from this
perspective). The effect is pronounced in the eclipse view PIA08329.
The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft
wide-angle camera on April 19, 2008. The view was obtained at a distance
of approximately 851,000 kilometers (529,000 miles) from Saturn. Image
scale is 48 kilometers (30 miles) per pixel.

As they wheel about the planet, Saturn's sunlit rings often exhibit dark,
radial markings called spokes.
Spokes are seen only in the broad B ring, and can also appear bright in
certain viewing geometries (see PIA08302).
This view looks toward the sunlit side of the rings from about 11 degrees
below the ringplane.
Pandora (81 kilometers, or 50 miles across) is a speck above the rings at
left. The planet's shadow darkens the ringplane at lower right.
The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft
wide-angle camera on June 3, 2008. The view was acquired at a distance of
approximately 1 million kilometers (636,000 miles) from Saturn and at a
Sun-Saturn-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 19 degrees. Image scale is 61
kilometers (38 miles) per pixel.

Animation Ice Moon Rendezvous
Zooming in closer and closer, this movie chronicles Cassini's targeted
flyby of Dione, with Saturn and its lovely rings forming a dramatic
backdrop.
The movie begins with Cassini during its approach about 107,000 kilometers
(66,000 miles) from the icy moon. Few surface details are discernable from
this distance, but the view quickly improves. The movie jumps to a point
39,000 kilometers (24,000 miles) from Dione, with Saturn's atmosphere now
in the background and draped by threadlike ring shadows.
As the spacecraft gets still closer, the camera focuses on bright
fractures in the west. It becomes apparent that these braided canyons
slice through older craters. At the closest point in this approach
sequence, Cassini is about 4,000 kilometers (2,500 miles) above Dione's
surface and the image scale is 234 meters (768 feet) per pixel. For a
narrow-angle camera image taken at almost the same instant see PIA07748.
A dramatic shift in perspective follows, with Cassini moving past the
point of closest approach and staring at a large crater on Dione's
receding limb. Steep cliffs gleam in the sunlight as the intrepid craft
pulls away. About three and a half hours have elapsed since the first
image in the movie was taken.
This movie was created from clear-filter images taken during the Oct. 11,
2005, flyby of Dione. All images except the departing view were obtained
with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera.
